It has a hepu water pump
I got a water pump there for 80 dollars ford wanted to sell me for $560, I've spread the good word ever since
GMB or Hepu pumps are generally good for 100k or more.\n\nThat leak is due to the donut like seal between the pump and the head.
When I was shopping around for cooling system replacement parts, I wasn't sure if GRAF or HEPU made a better metal-impellar water pump. I ended up purchasing both the GRAF and HEPU, and found the HEPU to have a better fit and finish compared to the GRAF.
My next car I got a Hepu pump, which FCP lists as an OEM supplier. The impeller is plastic (or composite, I don't remember), but overall the part is so much nicer.
Trying to replace my water pump on my 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0L (flex fuel). I can’t find a video that performs this repair on my model; 4cylinders and v6 4.0 yes, but not the 3.0. There’s 12 bolts on the WPump, 11 are EZPZ, one is behind something else. I’ve got everything off except for one bolt that is stuck behind the “mount” for the pulley tensioner/AC compressor. It’s not the power steering pump, it’s not the AC compressor, and it’s not the pulley tensioner - *it’s what all 3 of these things are mounted too.* I’ve loosened 3 bolts that seem to mount this “mount” to the engine block, but I must be missing 1+, as it won’t budge.
Sadly, I've gone through two water pumps on my 2012 Ford Explorer.
This is why I’ve avoided the 3.5/3.7 Duratec engines in transverse (front wheel drive) platforms. It’s just fine in rear wheel drive applications as those use an external pump driven by the serpentine belt.
Yup, that's happens when they decided to put water pump INSIDE the engine. Ask me why i would never own a newer Ford. Oh, and a timing belt cooled by engine oil, what could possibly ever go wrong? Last 10 years Ford has managed to come up dumbest engine designs.
I had the same issue with the same Ford motor 3.7 in my Mazda Cx9, it is internal water pump
